I want to paint my phone with gold and red. I see a lot of info on the net about painting your phone but I rather ask the xda crowd.

Will it affect phones signal?

Primer necessary? Any suggestions on brands or specific types of paint?

Am i mad?

dont worry lol. I changed my mind when i found a carbon fiber skin online.
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
If you have an airbrush you can do it, and make it look good.

I airbrushed a spare back cover for my Dinc, did it in a nice pearl metallic blue, was considering doing a pink camo one for my wife. An Airbrush, proper prepping, and patience will net you a nice result. You could also look in the ricer section of places like AutoZone and get carbon fiber wrap/decal/overlays and cut that out to your phone and cover it. Alot of options if you are crafty enough and take your time. I have been making phone docks for our work desks, nightstands/etc out of wood for our Dincs, and will be making a few prototypes for the X before it arrives some time next year :rolleyes: You would think Motorola would produce the damn things.........
[Droid X Accessories] mavermc:
Do you have a blog or something it would be interesting to see what you've done
[Droid X Accessories] chris2k5:
gold and red is TACKY. keep the dark gray and do some red accents.
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
No I dont have a blog, I just like to tinker, but here is a pic or two of the prototypes I have done for our Dinc's. This weekend I will probably do a full redesign and make 2 for my X with magnets embedded for the home dock Multimedia Mode.

I have made like 15 of these, moved on to hardwood and going to stain the first one, better sanding, etc, the 2 I made for my Mom look fantastic, also experimenting with different fabric, I got a sq yard of nice leather, wondering how much I should use, only on the back? the sides? so yeah, just tinkering.
[Droid X Accessories] ixobelle:
it looks like a little park bench ;)

nice build quality
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
lol, I actually made a mini Adriaondak chair for my moms Moto Droid. I only did one. Was a major pain as I had to cut so many small pieces, then glueing it together was another pain. Never again on that one.

Those are just blah prototypes. I moved onto better wood and now that I have the Dx, I am going to work on one that fits the phone, and fits the curve of the back and puts it into Desk Clock/Multimedia Mode. My work schedule keeps me limited to weekends, and it has been 105+ and I dont have AC in my woodshop. Was hoping to have a few 5-10 made by now and all the bugs worked out for the Dx model. Wifes Dx is coming around the end of the month so I still have a little time.

I have been trying to update some of my apps and download some new ones from the market but they all seem to be stuck on starting download. Havent been able to download anything from the market for about a week now.

I have rebooted the phone and that didnt seem to resolve the problem at all.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str4vag:
how long have the updates been stuck at "starting download"?

what ROM are you using?

for now leave it be for a while. sometimes it just needs time (leave it for a couple of hours and see what happens)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solo170:
its been stuck on that for at least 24 hours..

Im using a stock Desire 2.1 update 1

It was working fine for a while even after i updated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Check to see if you are logged into Google Talk (the Talk application).

Market uses some of the services and protocols of Google Talk, and if it is not logged on it will stall on downloads.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solo170:
i rebooted my phone again and it downloaded all the ones that were queued up.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Ill definitely check the talk application if it happens again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
i have a bug in market too......when i choose to update all the apps simultaneously they do download but neither installs....if i cancel them all and try again one at a time no probs
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanleywinston:
Cheers for that. Market on any 2.2 ROM for me has not been working properly (no paid apps and really slow). Just logged in to Talk and now it's all humming along.

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvbug1977:
Same problem

I'm experiencing the same thing. I'm running CM 5.0.8-DS. It just started doing this today...hanging on the "Starting download..."

It's been this way today for about 5 hours now. I checked GTalk and I'm logged in just fine (luvbug1977@gmail.com).

Reinstalled GApps, rebooted...same deal.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solo170:
ok now it has started happening again. Cant seem to download from the market. Also cant seem to open "talk" as it doesnt open anything, just redirects me back to the home screen.

I went into running services from settings and it shows GTalkService process active.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solo170:
just an update to those of you experiencing the same problem.

Go into settings > applications > manage applications and clear data from Gmail Storage, Google Apps and Google Mail. This has done the trick for me on 2 occassions.

Market seems to go back to normal and download and update my apps as normal :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Burst_:
I read about how some development had been done with the nexus in regards to saving battery life by turning certain colors on and off.

I was wondering or just wanted to see what y'all thought about this idea.

Is it possible to adjust the RGB levels of the screen to reduce the "pink/purple" hue to the novatek panels.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dinguznomad:
There are proximity programs that turn off your screen...

How about turning it ON -- when NOT in your pocket?

basically can we force the sensor to keep polling for "proximity" and do anything on NOT covered

AND

if so would every 3 seconds be too big of a power drain

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624206&highlight=proximityscreenoff&styleid=15

I got in the habit with thee above program to just put my phone face down instead of hitting the end call button OR in my pocket w/out pushing any buttons, I would love if the screen just auto-on'd when "OUT"

ALTERNATIVELY

could the screen just turrn on when I touch it ?

again, I get that always polling the screen could be a big drain ....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantumstate:
Just talked to TMobile, and as I said I'm thinking about abandoning them for the iPhone they credited me $100 toward the Nexus One. (my plan all along) I am now on a Loyalty unlimited talk plan with 300 texts ($50), and with the Nexus I'd add web for another $20. If I buy the phone outright this would save $600 over 2 years compared with the iPhone.

HOWEVER, I am concerned that Google has their tentacles all throughout the OS, and I want to take all measures to stop that. I particularly don't like their search query tracking (I use ixquick) and their nav app, as their privacy policies are atrocious.

I guess installing a dev-modified firmware would void the warranty? Does the bootloader need to be modified? What else?

Where is the best place to find a selection of firmwares? How about open-source apps? What else would be handy?

I hear that HTC has some sort of 'phone home' function. How to neuter that?

I have a friend with a Droid, and was surprised to find that voice quality is poor. How is voice quality on the Nexus One?

What good is Wifi? Is it that you can use that when available, not using up 3G bytes? Anything else?

TIA
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damentz:
Whoa, that's a lot of questions... I'll answer the least controversial first.

The microphone quality is very high. Due to the noise cancelling microphone on the back, your voice will come through very clean and crisp to whatever is on the other end.

What good is WiFi? Well it's WiFi, if you would prefer to use your home network instead of 3G, do it. Typically you'll save battery power if the access point is nearby since the WiFi chip will need to push less power to the antennas. And of course, no data will be monitored or billed through WiFi since it's not t-mobile's network.

As far as roms goes, I always recommend Cyanogen as the first mod since it's well known and has the largest community. Once you're comfortable with flashing new roms, go and experiment with the others.

Now here's the hard part, you seem to be very concerned about your privacy. You may not even want an android phone since a lot of your configuration, contacts, location, and other things are stored in the "google cloud". You won't be changing much by changing search engines.

So really, all of this discussion is moot if you don't want any of your information in the cloud.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshlusignan:
If you want a phone to use as a dealer phone...this location tracking beast is not for you. ;)

Kinda the same for all smartphones tho, meh. Can't hide anywhere these days.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knight4led:
The iPhone is no better in terms of account info and location tracking.

One thing I'd mention is that you would be surprised by how many apps in the app store from apple are tracking your location. Now I'd be willing to bet this is fairly innocuous and simply used for usage statistics. But everything from the maps app to NY Times to word games access your maps.

Android marketplace is very explicit about what information each app can and will have access to before you install it.

In terms of cloud storage and google knowing your info, any mobile device will be able to sync settings and info for any account you want to use on it. I wouldn't run around thinking iPhone is more secure just because it syncs your info through iTunes and not OTA.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petard:
Can you say paranoid? As far as I know, there isn't any custom ROM for people that are paranoid about being tracked for statistics.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJay_RXx:
Lmao yea this person seems very paranoid but for what? I don't see y. Like other posters have stated the iPhone is just as bad maybe even worse. Just Becuz Google can track your location doesn't mean its a bad thing. But the voice on this thing is great and clear. The WiFi I used is faster than my 3G so I connect whenever possible. Too many questions to answer each one
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Part Four:
This dude sounds like either a paranoid schizophrenic or a criminal. Either way he needs help, but not from the xda community. He doesn't even understand what WiFi is, and it's 2010 for ****'s sake! Also, wrong forum section. Mods, please move (or, preferably, delete) this thread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantumstate:
Can you say 'oblivious'?

A couple of you are ignorant, willing to just hand over your 200 year old Constitutional rights for some meager security promised by The Machine. Tucked in sweetly at night, while you're robbed in your sleep of valuables you didn't even know you had. I'm not even bothering to discuss this issue further with those couple of uneducated serfs bent over for the corporatocracy.

I sure hope there are firmware developers with more sense than petard, xXJay_RXx, and especially Part Four. Spare me your inconsequential Jackass Judgmentalism.

In general I'll not be using the apps of that-search-engine-everybody-uses. Removing them forthwith, in favor of whatever GPL open-source apps there are available for various functions. Using self-contained nav software like CoPilot or TomTom. If I didn't need nav, it'd be Opie all the way.

I know what wifi is, Idiot. I am asking what use it is on a mobile in consideration of mobility and the security problems, as I used to be a cracker and know what can be done. My inference is that it can be used as a substitute for 3G at times to save data bandwidth, but I asked the question open-ended so as to not limit possible answers.

Has anyone here understood my questions besides damentz, joshlusignan, and knight4led. (Thanks so far BTW) Def agree about the iPhone. Had doubts about Android until I did some research.
[Desire Android Development] cgrec92:
This is a script I created for personal use which will work on a Mac using the Terminal.

Services.jar is responsible for theming your phone, for example how the battery status and notification bar works, and general things such as those.

This script allows you to easily:

1. Create a working directory with all required files included.

2. Allow you to drag and drop the services.jar file you want to modify into the terminal for ease of use.

3. Automatically decompile services.jar into your working directory

4. Open your working directory from the Terminal to allow you to make modifications/changes.

5. Automatically re-compile services.jar after edits have been made.

6. Option to sign services.jar so that it is flash ready for your Desire.

Setting up is no problem,

1. Download the attachment and extract it to your desktop.

2. Open up terminal and cd (change directory) to the folder, eg: cd ~/desktop/services-jar

3. Then simply type: ./menu

This will display the easy-to-use menu for navigation around the script shown below

Screenshot:

NOTE: only for mac users.

CURRENTLY WORKING ON:

1. Automatic ripping of services.jar from a signed ROM. COMPLETE

2. De-compiling, editing, re-compiling and automatic signing of .apk files.

All requests are welcome :)

Short history - purchased a used G1 to see what android was all about. Proceeded to root, and start the upgrading process - made a mistake with the Death SPL - and bricked the phone.

Just got a donor phone off ebay, and proceeded to replace the motherboard - and now have a working phone again.

To date - I have rooted the phone, and am in the process of reading, reading some more - to make sure I get this right the second time around.

I was reading this post - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=563679 and downloaded the following rom / file - "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" which is step 4 in the thread".

The thread states that FILE 4 Download the "1.6 Recovery Image" for your Dream/G1/ADP1 or for your Magic/ION/MT3G (This is NOT a recovery image, it is a ROM that you can flash from recovery)

I flashed the rom - and stopped there. Let the phone set up, and happened to notice that this devphone rom had the option to skip the gmail set up, which is great because I do not have a data plan. I was able to get in, connect to my wifi, and set everything up.

Is the devphone rom a usable daily rom ? To the best of your knowledge, is there anything missing in this rom ? My phone is up and running - everything seems to be okay - so am just wondering.

This may be a bogus question - and I may get flamed, but - am new to the whole android os and have already bricked my phone once by going too quickly - so decided to read, read, read - and ask questions.

Any feedback greatly appreciated
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
That rom is basically stock. There are a lot of improvements from other rooted roms that the stock may not have. If you want to experiment, flash your recovery.img again from terminal and flash CM6 RC1 or similar.

Thanks for the reply - appreciate it.

One last thing - read most of the posts I could find on rooting, and because I messed up once - will follow the "measure twice -cut once" philosophy and ask a question.

Once you root the phone - it is rooted for good, right ?

I know there are posts on how to unroot your phone - but that is a process that needs to be followed.

I know, noob questions - asked hundreds of times, just double checking

Thanks
